Nov. 6, 2025. 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Autumn brings many seasonal changes to the forest. Join us for a nature walk as we explore the great outdoors as we admire the reds, oranges, and yellow, on display. We will also learn why the leaves change color in the fall with a brief experiment in chromatography. This half-mile walk will be over moderately level ground with some short inclines. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. This free program starts at the Lakeside Snack Bar.

If you have any mobility or accesses concerns, please contact bcguide@dcr.virginia.gov before attending the program so staff can provide accommodation.
